Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)

Even if you believe the death toll from the Gaza Health Ministry which is around 42000, that is a far cry from genocide. The mass slaughter is not happening. surely, you can see the foolishness of calling this genocide.
What I don’t understand is how anyone can vilify the IDF for civilian casualties when it’s Hamas, Hezbollah, et. al. that embed themselves within said civilian population and civilian infrastructure.
Furthermore, a poll published by the Ramallah-based non-profit Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in March 2024, showed 71% of Palestinians supported the October 7 attack…you reap what you sow.
